Don't leave hunger off the global agenda
When the leaders of the globe's biggest economies — the G8 — meet at Camp David in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains this weekend, they will have a plate full of problems: banking and liquidity and bonds and loan guarantees and such.

Rachel Marsden: Lame attempts to shut off Afghan heroin spigot have been futile

More domestic production won't lower gas prices
The argument for increasing oil production in the U.S. to decrease gas prices at the pump has sparked passionate debate, but it undervalues the influence of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). In recent years, OPEC has shown an...Tags: Natural Resources, Energy Saving, Exports, Globalization, Upstream Oil and Gas Activities

Increased domestic oil production is crucial for the United States
Rafael Corredoira's understanding and explanation of the U.S. petroleum markets is ludicrous. ("More domestic production won't lower gas prices," April 20.)

U.S. oil production can destroy OPEC
University of Maryland business professor Rafael Corredoira's claim that higher domestic oil production won't affect prices is flat wrong ("More domestic production won't lower gas prices," April 20).

Afghanistan: what 'victory' looks like

Overstated Iranian 'threat' puts U.S. on path to war
A neocon joke, at the beginning of the Iraq war, was: "Anyone can go to Baghdad. Real men go to Tehran." It wasn't funny then, and it isn't funny now. Unfortunately, those "real men" who want to wage war on Iran are making so much noise that they may...

Change the World Bank needs

U.S. and Pakistan: Uneasy allies
News that the U.S. has resumed drone strikes in Pakistan, killing at least three suspected militants last week in the tribal areas of North Waziristan along that country's border with Afghanistan, could hardly come at a more delicate moment for U.S.-...Tags: Yousuf Raza Gilani, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Taliban, Armed Conflicts, Pakistan
